Reforge Build: The Best Product Teams Prototype Together

Jan 21, 2026

Your engineering team can now build 10x more than they could two years ago. Tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex let them ship in days what used to take quarters.

The problem is your product team's capacity didn't change. You still gather context manually, run discovery workshops, and schedule customer calls weeks out. You can build 10 things in the time you can properly vet one. That gap creates product debt.

AI prototyping helps close that gap. But until now, it's mostly been an individual workflow. It’s a start but still looks like:

  • Early adopters using it alone

  • Teams cobbling together shared access

  • Very little consistency across prototypes

  • Duplicative context and setup

Today that changes. Reforge Build now includes full team collaboration features. One setup, shared context and the full power of AI prototyping in everyone’s hands.

AI prototyping is a team sport

Product teams across the industry ran AI experiments throughout 2024 and 2025. Most didn't stick, but AI prototyping consistently delivered measurable value. Teams could explore more solution directions before committing to builds. They could create interactive artifacts that demonstrate actual experiences. And they could hand off concrete specs to engineering.

That workflow is moving from early adopter behavior to mainstream product practice. And mainstream adoption requires team infrastructure:

  • Shared context that eliminates duplicate setup

  • Role-based access for different team members

  • Billing that works for groups.

We've learned something valuable from early customers. When more people on a team prototype regularly, the entire discovery process changes. More ideas get explored. More solution paths get validated. The best features move from concept to spec faster because the whole team thinks in working prototypes, not static documents.

Reforge Build: Collaborate with stakeholders.

What's included

1 - Shared resources

Your team can now share the core building blocks that make prototypes work:

  • Prototypes that anyone can view, fork, and iterate on

  • Projects with all their context bundled together

  • Captures of UI flows and screens from your actual product

  • Templates for common use cases your team builds repeatedly

  • Design systems with your visual language and components

One person does the setup work. Everyone benefits. The navigation patterns users already understand. The component library your team already maintains. The visual language that makes prototypes feel real.

2 - Role-based access

Teams need different levels of access depending on who's using the tool and how they're using it:

  • Admins manage team settings, billing, and invitations

  • Editors create, edit, and share resources using team credits

  • Viewers have read-only access with 500 free monthly credits that don't consume team resources

Product leaders can give their whole organization visibility while controlling who actively builds. Stakeholders can review prototypes without affecting the team's budget.

3 - Team billing

Team payment pools cover all Editor seats. Viewers don't consume team credits. You can add or remove Editors as needs change. No complicated seat management. No surprise overages.

Why this matters

Team collaboration extends Build's core philosophy to group work. The goal isn't just helping individuals prototype faster. It's helping teams close the discovery deficit together.

When everyone on a team has access to the same design systems, captured patterns, and company context, the quality bar rises across all prototypes. Consistency improves. Duplicate work disappears. The team's shared understanding becomes infrastructure rather than tribal knowledge.

This connects to the broader problem we're solving. Engineering execution got dramatically faster. Product discovery didn't keep pace. That asymmetry creates product debt and we have more features coming to fix this. Stay tuned to learn more about that.

Try Reforge Build with your team

Team features are available now. Shared resources, role-based access, and team billing for groups of two or two hundred.

Your engineering team can build 10x more. Your product team needs infrastructure to keep up. Start using Reforge Build with your team or schedule a demo for a full walkthrough and make AI prototyping a team workflow, not just an individual productivity hack.
